This is a memoir essay that I had to write for my English 101 class and I got a 68 D on it. I thought it was a really nice essay. I am very proud of it because I worked really hard on it. Everything in the essay actually happened. It was something that me and my family went through. I am not posting this for sympathy. I just wanted it to read something I worked very hard on and something that is very close to my heart. Warning it is kind of sad. Somethings may be hard to read. Nothing too graphic so don't worry.
